Chapter 200While Lyra was still staring at the couple, Brian's eyes flashed coldly when he noticed the figure across the hallway. Even with the face cap and mask, Brian found it easy to recognize the bastard. After all, they've interacted a lot of times. Without wasting any more time, he dragged Lyra out of the hospital without saying anything. “Is anything the matter?” she asked, taking turns to look back as her husband dragged her towards their car. “There's nothing, honey. Let's go home. I'm quite hungry.” Brian forced a smile when in the real sense, his mind was in a turmoil. That figure, he was certainly sure it was Brandon. He wouldn't mistake him for somebody else. To make it worse, the bastard wasn't alone. He was with someone else, someone that looked completely unfamiliar. If Brandon really wanted to kill them, another opportunity had been provided. Brian had just indirectly confirmed that Brandon was indeed in Helix city, carefully watching them; but why? Why wouldn't
“Then what are you trying to say, Albert?” Brian asked, nervousness kicking in. If his father was indeed murdered, then he was willing to go to any length to avenge his father's death. For a few seconds, Albert was deep in thoughts. After a while, he finally said, “Master, this is just a speculation. There's still so much for us to discover, but I feel like your father didn't die naturally. However, It's just a gut feeling”Brian stroked his chin, calmly thinking about Albert's words. If his father had indeed a step left to becoming a member of the Cabal 8, why then was he murdered? He shook his head as a splitting headache came with full force, making him stumble backwards. Beads of perspiration formed on his head and exhaustion kicked in, making him feel this simmering heat in his body. Without waiting to hear Albert's response, he hung up and placed his phone on the chair, wanting to have some moment of rest. Brian knew all he needed was peace and rest, but he wasn't getting
As days turned into weeks, Brandon was immersed in his new role; practicing like there would never be tomorrow. While Brandon was focused on learning his new role, Brian contacted a director and informed him about his plan to invest in his movie. As Brian was owner of the Duke Empire, the director was more than willing to accept him. After all, he was more than qualified to become an investor. A major event was being held In Helix city. People trooped in, flaunting their well designed dresses and suits; each one with their certain partners. Brian, clad in a dashing red suit strode in with his wife, Lyra. While her husband was dressed in a red suit, she was dressed in a red and white gown to complement his outfit. Compared to how she styles her hair in a messy bun; this time, she styled her hair in an even more elegant way. Her long hair flowed down her waist like a waterfall, adding to her beauty and charm. Even with Brian's fame, not a lot of people recognized this highly respe
As Brandon went up the stage, Brian's heart raced as his gaze turned cold. Brandon's new identity still shocked him to the bone marrow. The starlight company was an entertainment company he had invested in. Due to the upcoming movie, he had invested in the movie as well because he believed it would yield profits. With Brandon connected to the movie, Brian couldn't help but seethe in anger. “How did you find out?” Brian asked Albert as he walked towards Lyra, not wanting her to feel terrified. Due to her pregnancy, her hormones are imbalanced. She got emotional for no reason and seeing Brandon might drive her insane. “It's all over the news. I thought you would have seen it, Master.” Albert commented, “Brandon had changed everything about his looks without going under the knife. He looks even more youthful.” he added. “I know. I saw him as well but I know he has an ulterior motive. Out of every job, why choose acting? Why did he choose the same entertainment company I invested in? T
Brian inhaled a sharp breath and flashed a smile at the organizer. “Mr Duke, alot of people can't believe you're actually the CEO.” he joked and the majority of the audience nodded their heads in agreement.The Ladies present couldn't help but fawn over him. Brian exuded a confident aura, sweeping them off their feets. “I'm not a fan of interviews.” Brian calmly said, throwing the whole crowd in a fit of laughter. “Our CEO likes his privacy.” The organizer chuckled, averting his gaze from Brian. “Would you like to give a little speech?” he asked after a while and Brian nodded before collecting the microphone. Moments later, after having a short speech, Brian returned back to his seat. Lyra stared at him, her eyes whirling with a thousand emotions. “Your identity was supposed to be hidden. Why did the organizer act that way?” she asked, wondering why they had revealed his identity.Lyra understood Brian's hate for reporters and too much attention. Due to the kind of life he had live
“Brandon.” Theodore seethed, pondering why he was rooted at one position. Seeing his reluctance to apologize, a small smile graced Brian's lips. “Do you know the implication of what you just did?” he asked, his voice dropping to a lower degree, completely terrifying Theodore. Brian's expression was calm but his eyes were filled with anger. Anger towards the male lead of his movie! Theodore suddenly became uneasy. He Impatiently rubbed his palms on his tailored suit to calm himself down. “Mr..Mr Duke.” he stuttered, wanting to take control of the situation. When Brian didn't respond, Theodore turned to look at Brandon and clenched his fists in anger. “Apologize this instant.” he yelled, gaining the attention of people around. “You're merely a rookie actor. You're here because you're being backed by someone powerful but that doesn't mean you can talk to our major investor anyhow!” He spat, scolding Brandon in the presence of Brian. Satisfied, a pleased smile appeared on his lips, “Mr
After a few more minutes outside, Brandon strolled inside the building he had been living in for more than two weeks now. This new identity issue was taking a toll on him and driving him nuts. He sighed before walking into the living room. A few maids who lurked around the building inhaled a shaky breath as they saw Brandon. He was someone they were deeply terrified of. Apart from his insanely handsome face, nothing else was good about him. The last maid was lucky enough to escape at that dying moment. If she had been any second late, the glass would have hit her head. As Brandon walked towards his room, Jeremy chuckled as he strode out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn in his hands. “I was expecting you to use a few more hours outside. You're back so early?” he smiled, putting some popcorn in his mouth. “I was just about to start watching a movie. Would you like to join me?” He asked again, but Brandon stayed mute, knowing that Jeremy was indirectly mocking him. Without beat
Leviathan's voice dropped to a lower degree, making Brandon shift uncomfortably in his seat. The young man sitting across him was indeed terrifying. Only his voice was enough to instill fear in his heart. He averted his gaze from Leviathan and turned to look at Jeremy, indirectly asking for his help. Jeremy shrugged his shoulders and looked elsewhere. After all, Brandon was the one who had asked to meet whoever they were working for. Coming to Leviathan's home without results was like coming to a lion's den. Brandon sighed, “I'm still working on it. I'll make sure I get the location of the vault.” he said, his gaze fixed on the marble floor. Brandon had stared at Jeremy, wanting him to bail him out on this; but the bastard was too heartless. “Just give me a little more time.” he continued, raising his head to stare at Leviathan. Leviathan smirked, “How much time do you need? Do I look like someone that's willing to wait? Or you think I got you out of prison to listen to your filthy
